I thought they'd sell out eventually but BT vision Confused who the fuck has BT vision!
To make matters worse BT are showing it on a new sports channel they are launching which will also show premier league football matches so it going to be expensive.

From what I gather you can get it on Sky by paying a subscription to BT for the sports Channels.

All should be revealed in the next 60 mins, but BT have a 5 year deal from 2014.


Could be a good thing, if it means they get rid of Parish and Cox.

BT Vision is currenly £7 per month basic package, and then 50p per show on sport.

So £7 per month plus 50p per MotoGP race, that £7 per month also gets you British Eurosport so it will give you the superbikes aswell.

or £15 per month unlimited

Wankers. Utter wankers.

Been reading it on Twitter, fucking stupid. I couldnt stand BBC commentary but at least I could watch it. Virgin user and here and I was stuck with BT internet inside the M25 on a fucking 128k connection until 2 years ago when I switched to Virgin.

Fuck BT.

That really sucks.

Loved the BBC F1 coverage then they sold half of it to Sky. Personally thought that was a mistake, but not too bothered as I already had Sky Sports. Love the Sky F1 coverage even more.


Now though, losing MotoGP as well, and to BT Sport is even worse. I pay too much for Sky, Sky Sports & Sky Movies. The fuck am I going to pay £15 more a month for BT Sport just to watch MotoGP.

I'll either find somewhere to watch it for free (or rather no additional cost to what I'm already paying) or I'll just not watch it and follow the even superbikes more instead.


Anyone know if Eurosport will continue to show the race AFTER it finishes?

Here is the email contact should you wish to let them know how you feel about this deal. I sent a civilised one, which said BT is wank.

I don't have BT broadband or sky, so as far as I can tell I need to get BT broadband and then pay for the TV box myself or pay £5 extra per month for their basic TV package so that I can get the 'free' bt sports channel.

Or pay for sky at £18 per month or whatever the basic package is and then another £15 per month to get BT sport.

So given that I normally go to the British GP and will probably miss 4-5 races per year through them being on at stupid o clock in the morning or just having other commitments, I'm going to be paying a hell of a lot to watch maybe 12 races a year of which 3 might actually be worth while viewing

But to be honest I doubt I'll bother GP is a joke, 6 factory bikes, 2 of which don't stand a chance.
I'll continue to pay the £35 per year for eurosport player and watch the WSBK and BSB.
It's a shame as I've followed GP since the mid 90's but at a time when the quality or racing is at an all time low they should be trying to appeal to a wider audience not trying to charge there already small audience a fortune to follow the sport by signing up to stupid broadband and tv packages.

TBH bollocks to it all!

MotoGP is not like it was when they moved from 500s to 4 strokes - was amazing back about 10 years ago. Proper racing, proper 'blokes' not grinning chimps whining about 'front end chatter' until their ever-so-white teeth burned little spots in my tellybox.

I started watching when it was on Channel 5, was great. Got the pure feed, no halfwitted Austra-alien wannabe dribbling and coughing his guts up when you're trying to watch, no yabbering ancient dalek lord looking at the timing pages from yesterday and telling you something that happened fourteen laps ago.
Was happy days. Back then, BBC were showing WSB, which was ace-tacular also. I miss that.

I put it to you, good sirs, that BBC might like to fill the hole this has made with something like.... WSB?

So, in essence, it could be good news.
